How do you prevent your fish from nipping at each other and treat the injury? Other Pet Discussions
I have had 2 fancy male guppies since Easter and now out of nowhere they are starting to nip at each others tails. (And damage to one looks pretty bad!) I am not sure if this some type of aggressive behavior or a sign they need new "friends". Theyre also probably about ready to breed but I am not going to add any females, so will this behavior continue? Is there any way to prevent the nipping? And how do I treat the torn tails or fins? Is there an ointment or drop that goes in the water? I added 2 new fish - blue lyrletail delta male guppies and the problem is now WORSE! I think they even killed my bumblebee catfish! I dont have another aquarium so I cant seperate them. I could go buy one but someone may not make it overnight in time.
